There is currently a severe thunderstorm watch in effect for Grimsby. Strong winds, hail and down pours may occur.

During conditions like this there is a greater possibility of damage to power lines due to trees/branches and flying debris that can cause power outages. Outages may be intermittent in nature.

This information will help us respond to the outage.

In the event of a power outage our crews are committed to working safely to restore power. High winds and storm conditions can pose additional risk to our crews. Power will be restored as it is safe to do so.
